May Case Files | Mid-Month Reveal

Hello again! We hope you are staying safe and well. We're back with our mid-month reveal, which is going to knock your socks off!

If you haven't yet had a chance to play with the first challenge, you still have plenty of time--submissions for all three challenges will be accepted by the 4th of the next month.

SPONSORS

This month, we have seven generous sponsors donating prizes! Click here to read more about our sponsors and the prizes they are donating. Winners will be selected randomly from all of our players, with a few exceptions where sponsors have asked us to choose from certain geographic regions.

CASE FILES

We're celebrating National Photography Month and May Flowers (April Showers bring May Flowers) with our Case Files and a sweet treat with our Cold Case File. Draw your own inspiration from The Scene on the Case File, or you can use the traditional clues, which can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

The traditional CSI clues can be found on our Facebook page in the first entry under the album. Just click on the Case File images above. They are also posted at the bottom of this reveal.

To submit your layouts, click on the Case Files in our sidebar, which will bring you to the individual albums in our Facebook group.

GUEST DESIGNERS

We're honored to have some members of the CUT to YOU, 2Crafty, and Denim Tampons (Denim Stamps in English) design teams joining us as Guest Detectives this month! You are sure to be inspired by their beautiful work!

Also, starting this month, we've got a team of Special Investigators joining us as guest designers. We've invited our players whose work caught our eye and were placed Under Surveillance to join us this month.

Rona Mallard

How Rona solved the Cold Case: Evidence used was damask pattern (the white background paper), stripes, vintage/retro, a doily, a border punch (I scraplifted Julie Taylor's March layout idea!! So cute), metal accent - (oven mitt brad), kitchen/food items, i didn't use stickers with children but the cute little red head in the picture should totally count lol. I used stickers that had never been opened. I created a collage of photos and designed around it. I used bright and muted shades. I mixed textures, stacked elements and used circles.

We trust we've provided enough clues for you to solve the Cases! You have until Thursday, June 4, 2020, to solve this case. We can't wait to see what you'll create! Upload your creations in our Facebook Group (album links in sidebar).
